When you see this beauty, you can see why. Thankfully now all remodeled and restored to its current luster, you can almost hear the words of local legend D.C. Collier, and his syndicate, that dreamt up the residential neighborhood of Normal Heights in the first place, describe this very home when pitching it to new homebuyers looking for a better life up out of the city. A new trolly car neighborhood where folks could afford detached homes, front and back yards and family-friendly walkable streets. It’s in homes like this where community came together and connected from the sidewalks to the front porches. This historic street was the ribbon that connected one side of the community to the other and still is today.
